Students must possess a Hong Kong Identity Card or valid visa issued by the Immigration Department to be eligible for enrolment at Hong Kong Academy. Parents/guardians are responsible for providing this documentation to the school upon request. Hong Kong Academy does not provide Student/Dependent visas. Students must live with either one or both of their parents. If a student is not living with their parents, a legal guardianship must be established and enrolment must be approved by the Head of School. In exceptional cases, students may be granted a place outside this age requirement if warranted by their past school experience, maturity and assessment results, and space availability. We operate a wait pool, and acceptance is not based on the date of application. If we are unable to offer your child a place in the school year that you originally applied for, we will automatically roll your application forward for consideration in the following school year. HKA does not maintain a chronological wait list. The application will remain active in our wait pool as long as you continue to keep it updated.
